Opium Reviews

Introduced in 1995, Opium by Yves Saint Laurent is a men's fragrance that is tailor made for casual situations, from lunch with a friend to an evening at the pub. This cologne features a mix of ginger, cedar, vanilla and pepper that mix to create a fresh, lively scent with hints of basalm. Its unique combination of scents intriguingly complements your casual wear. No matter where you choose to take Opium, its intoxicating scent will ensure that you make an impression on those around you.

Review of Opium

The new Opium perfume is awful! I hate it and cannot travel with it. It does not even smell the same. I have used the original since 1981 and really hate this one. Since I am out of the original, I will not buy any more unless you return to the original scent.

Review of Opium

I too have been wearing Opium for many years and cannot understand why YSL would want to change such a popular product. Let me know if they go back to the original otherwist, not interested.

Review of Opium

I too have worn Opium for 30+ years. I agree the "new"version is no where as sexy as the original - in fact it has a peculiar odor on me - maybe my body chemistry, maybe theirs. Also the new packaging is horrible, especially for travel. I too have kept a "big" bottle at home and used the smaller slim version for travel. When I run out of my stash, I'll begin looking for a new fragrance - SAD!!!!

Review of Opium

Please Please Please bring back the original Opium. The new one stinks! I have worn the orginal since its introduction. It's the only fragrance I wear and the new version just doesn't cut it.

Review of Opium

I came onto the site to buy the 'original' Opium, but having read the reviews I won't bother. I agree..if it ain't broke, why fix it???
